are paid in cash and thus are not prone to accounting tricks …

Lower Risk Higher Risk

This indicator is deemed to reflect the level of risk of the fund. It can vary from 1 to 7 depending on the weekly upward and downward fluctuations of the portfolio over the last 5 years. The level 1 on the scale does not mean that the portfolio is risk-free. However, this indicator is based on historic data and therefore does not guarantee the level of future risk of the fund. Neither is this risk level an investment objective for the fund and therefore it could vary over time. Level 7 on the scale represents the highest risk level. It equates to an average fluctuation variance of more than 25%,according to the calculation method described above.

Level 6 equates to an average fluctuation variance of between 15% and 25%, according to the calculation method described above.

This risk level is mainly explained as follows:

The fluctuation of stocks due to possible sudden and/or prolonged fall of the financial markets.

Investment in small and/or medium-sized enterprises which could result in volatility and a higher liquidity risk for the portfolio.

Investment in emerging markets, which are more uncertain than the markets in developed countries (political risk, currency restrictions, repatriation, etc.).

Investment in foreign currency, resulting in a foreign exchange risk.

This indicator does not take into account the following risks:

Liquidity risk: risk linked to the difficulty of selling a portfolio investment on the market, preventing it from being traded under optimum conditions.

Operational risk: risk of loss for the fund linked to human or technical error, inadequate internal procedures or control systems.

Specific risks linked to the possible use of derivatives (financial instruments whose valuation is based on the value of another asset).

For further information about risks associated to this fund, please see the full prospectus, available at the head office of the SICAV.
